Image: Foundry Now that we practically understand whatever there is to understand about the iPhone 15, the reports about the iPhone 16 are currently rolling in. And it might be a significant release– we’re hearing that Apple is preparing a significant upgrade to the Pro designs for the very first time in years. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro’s display screen will be “somewhat bigger” than that of the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, which will enable it to get a periscope zoom lens. The periscope lens, which will apparently bring 6X optical zoom and approximately 30X digital zoom, is anticipated to get here in 2023, however just on the iPhone 15 Pro Max; a bump in size will be essential to include it on the 16 Pro. For contrast, the existing zoom lens on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max has a 3X optical zoom and 15X digital zoom. Of note, a report by Unknownz21 on Twitter declares the brand-new periscope video camera in the iPhone 15 Pro Max will need a shift in the cam design. As he describes, the ultra-wide and telephoto video cameras have actually switched positions, implying the telephoto cam is now on the best side. The iPhone 16 Pro will most likely get the exact same design. A previous report by DSSC CEO Ross Young declared that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max would increase to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. Those would be the biggest Pro designs considering that the line debuted with the intro of the iPhone 11 Pro. Apple increased the screen sizes from 5.8 inches and 6.5 inches to 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches when the iPhone 12 showed up, however kept the exact same sizes for the 13 and 14 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro will supposedly be the very same size. With this most current report, the iPhone 15 Pro is all of a sudden a lot less attractive. Based upon reports, the iPhone 16 Pro will bring numerous functions missing out on from this year’s phone, consisting of: Solid-state buttons: Apple apparently ditched the brand-new buttons from the iPhone 15 Pro due to technical obstacles however will be bringing them to next year’s phone. Under-display Face ID sensing units: We’re uncertain if the entire cam variety will go under the screen right now, however Apple will supposedly put a minimum of a few of the TrueDepth cam elements under the screen to reduce the size of the Dynamic Island. Much better battery life: As we saw with the Apple Watch Ultra, a couple of millimeters can make a substantial distinction in battery life. We anticipate the iPhone 15 Pro to utilize the additional space to increase the capability of the battery and include a minimum of an hour to our day. If you’re preparing on purchasing an iPhone 15 Pro, do not get too connected to it. There’s a likelihood you’re going to wish to update as quickly as the iPhone 16 shows up.

His fascination with innovation returns to his very first PC– the IBM Thinkpad with the lift-up keyboard for switching out the drive. He’s still awaiting that to come back in design tbh.
